2021 Map of Dogtown

About this map

The Georgia-Florida state line bisects this landscape, separating Decatur County and Gadsden County along a boundary marked by agricultural tracts and creek drainages. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Dogtown serves as a local anchor point, while the surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of Willacoochee Cr and Betts Mill Cr. The area is particularly notable for its high density of community burial grounds and houses of worship, such as the Old Philadelphia Church Cem and the Mount Hosea Missionary Baptist Church Cem. These features, along with family-named landmarks like the Viola Farm Airport and Pottevint Cem, reflect a deeply rooted rural society. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of established roads, including Faceville Attapulgus Rd and Fowlstown Rd, which connect these dispersed rural congregations and farms across the interstate border.
